Julia's picks: Tropical prints
On the walls
I’ve always loved the look of a bright and bold wallcovering for a powder room. This print from Osborne & Little is playful and exquisite, and gives a nod to the fun tropical trend.
Playful pillows
Add a bit of tropical paradise to your living room with these colourful creations from Zara Home. You just need one or two cushions on your sofa, and I guarantee they'll put a vacation-like smile on your face!

Chic and sophisticated
Welcome a more sophisticated take on the tropical trend into your home with this beautiful linen fabric by Pierre Frey, one of the most brilliant textile designers in the world. I would love to see this used as drapery for a guest room, on some occasional seating or on toss cushions.
Fashion forward
Tropical palm trees are making an incredible statement in fashion this season, and like so much of what we see on the runway, these patterns and designs transcend into home decor.

Quirky cork
If tropical prints aren't your thing, here's a small way to add this fun trend in your home. I just love this punchy and glamourous pineapple cork from Williams Sonoma — can't you just imagine yourself sipping sangria on a beach somewhere?
